The Steelers signed Rowe to their practice squad Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe will head to Pittsburgh after spending the offseason with the Panthers. The 2015 second-round pick could have a chance to see in-game action early on as the Steelers are now shorthanded at safety as Minkah Fitzpatrick is dealing with a hamstring injury, and both Keanu Neal (ribs) and Elijah Riley (ankle) are on injured reserve.

Rowe was released by the Panthers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe inked with Carolina in April after spending the last four seasons in Miami. The Utah product was working to earn a role in the team's secondary but fell short in those efforts.

The Panthers signed Rowe on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe is now set to join Carolina in 2023 following his four-year stint in Miami. The veteran safety is currently heading into his ninth NFL campaign and will likely add secondary depth behind Vonn Bell, Xavier Woods and Jeremy Chinn, but Rowe proved that he still has plenty of gas left in the tank given the 63 tackles, three sacks and three forced fumbles he registered across 15 matchups played this past season.

Rowe (quadriceps) is active Sunday against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, but he'll take the field Week 18. His ability to play should strengthen the team's secondary as he starts alongside Jevon Holland at safety.

Rowe (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe logged three limited practices during Week 18 prep while tending to a quadriceps injury. The 30-year-old previously sat out Week 15 versus Buffalo with a hamstring injury, though he's played at least 80 percent of defensive snaps in each of the Dolphins' last two games. Should Rowe be ultimately ruled inactive, Verone McKinley and Justin Bethel should be in line for increased snaps alongside starting free safety Jevon Holland.

Rowe recorded six tackles, one sack and one pass defensed in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
After being sidelined the week prior due to a hamstring issue, Rowe returned from his one-game absence Sunday versus the Packers and had himself a solid outing which included his second consecutive contest with at least six stops and a sack. The 30-year-old will now look to snag his first interception since the 2020-21 campaign when Miami squares off against the Patriots on New Year's Day.

Rowe (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe, who missed Miami's Week 15 matchup in Buffalo due to a hamstring issue, is now slated to resume operating in his usual starting safety position Sunday versus Green Bay following the trio of capped practices he underwent earlier this week.

Rowe (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Green Bay, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe sat out Miami's loss at Buffalo in Week 15 with the same hamstring injury, but his participation at practice Friday, albeit limited, signals he's at least trending in a positive direction ahead of Week 16. If the veteran Rowe does miss a second consecutive game, Verone McKinley would probably be in line to start at safety next to Jevon Holland.

Rowe (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bills, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe logged a season-high eight tackles and a sack before he was forced out with a hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to the Chargers. The 30-year-old defensive back was then sidelined for each practice Week 15, and he'll now look to work his way back onto the field before Miami's next game against the Packers on Christmas Day. With Rowe sidelined, Verone McKinley and Clayton Fejedelem should see increased usage alongside starting free safety Jevon Holland.

Rowe is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
Rowe tallied eight solo tackles, including a sack, to begin Sunday's matchup, but he sustained his hamstring injury early in the second half. If he's unable to return, Clayton Fejedelem and Verone McKinley could see increased roles.
